Lindsey Boost Enhancer or Boost Sciences Controller?
Off boost, my 951 feels like a Miata, so I'm looking for a controller that will give my car some low-end punch. I'm considering the Lindsey Boost Enhancer, but BoostSciences controller looks interesting (it's also cheaper than Lindsey's product).
Any recommendations on which is best? Also, would I be compromising engine longevity by using either of these products?

I would go with the Reliaboost vs, the LBE. I've used both and suggest the Reliaboost for its lower cost, ease of adjustability and stock appearance (brass finish as opposed to rice finish). I am not aware of any functional difference. If you want my LBE (used 3 months) you can have it for $50 S&H!

I've only used the Reliaboost... it works as advertised, and was something like $35 including shipping direct from BoostSciences. They even included 944 Turbo -specific instructions.

rice finish?? it's blue/red anodized just like an AN fitting.... how is that rice exactly? i just removed my LBE in favor of a MBC and dual-port wastegate, but i found it to be easy to adjust / dial-in, worked quite well and they are very well made imo.
i've got said LBE available as well, but i might be giving it away to a friend. Email me, if you are willing to pay shipping plus like 5-10 bux, it's yours (one of the hoses was shortened, beyond that it works as new).
btw check your braided hose that goes to the banjo bolt (then to a hard line under the intake, and then another braided hose i think to the cycling valve then wastegate). if that's leaking, no amt of boost control will help you. Ian's europarts (944online.com) and others sell vac. line replacement kits - a worthwhile and fairly easy if a bit time-consuming maintenance effort...
